4-step psychological de-stressing exercise to help men relax

Sit in a chair of moderate height in a posture that you think is most comfortable, and let your family members gently massage your shoulder and neck muscles. During this time, take even deep breaths and gently turn your head. Note: At this time, you must focus all your attention on the feeling of relaxation, and the time is generally about fifteen minutes. This can alleviate psychological barriers such as the inability to concentrate well at work and chaotic thinking.

2. Ear massage exercises

Choose a comfortable posture, lie down or sit quietly, then close your eyes and pinch your ears with your thumb and index finger. With your thumb at the back and your index finger at the front, gently rub your ears from the top to the bottom for about ten minutes. This can improve memory loss.

3. Leg lift and knee touch exercise

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. First, lift your left leg horizontally and touch your left knee with your right hand; then lift your right leg and touch your right knee with your left hand, repeat this exercise for three minutes. Then switch to parallel exercises, i.e. lift your left leg and touch your left knee with your left hand; then lift your right leg and touch your right knee with your right hand, continue to practice for three minutes. The movements should be slow and rhythmic, keep your eyes level, and relax your whole body naturally, similar to the "finishing exercise" of radio gymnastics. Because the two hemispheres of the brain exercise opposite side control over body functions, i.e. the right hemisphere controls the left side of the body, and the left hemisphere monitors the right side of the body. This exercise can promote the ability of the two hemispheres to coordinate their work and relieve the physical and mental fatigue symptoms caused by excessive use of one side of the brain.

4. Imagery relaxation exercises

Choose a comfortable posture to lean or lie down, then close your eyes and try to imagine that you are sitting or lying on a boat moored in the harbor, the boat is swaying with the waves of the blue sea, and there are a few floating clouds in the sky... Enjoy it all. Of course, you can also imagine yourself lying on a green lawn. In short, imagine whatever is beautiful, and practice for about ten minutes each time.

"Psychological exercises" can completely eliminate nervous emotions, help improve the ability to self-monitor the thinking process, and restore good work efficiency.
